Baby is the size of a(n):
Bell pepper or a sweet potato!
Total weight gain/loss:
+ 0 lbs (Last week I gained two pounds, but this week I was back to my
norm, and the lack of weight gain concerned me.
I called my doctor and she reassured me that no weight gain is A-OK
right now, as long as I’m eating, which I am…constantly. Her reassurance made me feel better :) Also, because I was in great shape
pre-pregnancy and at a healthy weight, she said I should gain maybe 15-20 lbs during
my entire pregnancy.)
Maternity clothes: A
couple really cute sweaters from A Pea in the Pod.
Sleep: It’s OK. I’m using my Snoogle body pillow, which is
wonderful for my lower body, but I’m starting to get neck cramps from the top
portion of it. Also, I’m starting to
have weird dreams. The other night I had
a bizarre dream that was a combination of Great Expectations, Harry Potter, the
Salem witch trials, and Superman.
Best moment this week:
NYC!! Hubby and I went to NYC for
the long weekend to visit my old roomies, their husbands/boyfriends, and my
godparents. We had so much fun, despite
the freezing cold weather (Saturday it was in the teens(!) but it was still
sunny and crystal clear). Saturday we
had what I thought was going to be a casual brunch with the gang, but they
surprised us with a baby shower!! We had
bottomless mimosas (OJ for me) and best burgers in town, and we laughed so much
our bellies ached! Gracie was hands down
spoiled by all her aunts and uncles with very generous gifts. Thank you!! More detailed post on our trip to come soon!
Baby Movement: When we were riding the subway on Saturday in
NYC, I felt a strong flutter. It was
unlike anything I’ve ever felt before so I know it was our girl! It was incredible! It was still very soft, but definitely
noticeable. I can’t wait to start
feeling her more.
Cravings: NYC
pizza!! We partially
satisfied this craving with a giant white slice (yum) and a giant regular slice
(mmm) while we were there, but I want more!
Missing anything:
Running! I can walk, which I do every
other day (3-5 miles), but I do miss running.
Pregnancy symptoms: Slight lower back pain, frequent trips to the
bathroom, and bending over is becoming more challenging for sure.
Showing yet:
Oh yea!
Labor signs:
Nope.
Belly button in or out: It’s still technically “in” but it’s starting to pop out!! I had to take my belly ring out.
Wedding rings on or off:
On!
Looking forward to:
Painting the nursery!!! We have the
primer, paint, and all the supplies, now we just have to do it! Then I can really start to nest :)
